That's crazy! Not the usual squirrel or pooch that usually runs out on the field, but a snake that size? Wow.

BTW, Ant...

2nd time mowing the lawn last weekend and the engine seized. Seems it ate all the oil. Opened the oil cap and smoke was coming out. Nice!!!
Mower 12 years old...ah well...whatever.
Ordered a battery operated one on Amazon. It arrived today, I get home, lawn already mowed by the wife! Wow!! I'm liking this mower already and I haven't even used it!!

What is with americans and creating hockey teams where there isnt even snow/winter happening at any time of year?....and then those teams whooping our Canadian team butts? LA, San Jose, Vegas...srsly....

HOW IS LAS VEGAS BEATING WINNIPEG AT HOCKEY? Stupidest thing ever lol...coz you can import all the canadians to play for you. Its why I feel sports has to bring back some nominal clause of hiring some majority of players ACTUALLY FROM THE FRIGGING AREA thats being represented lol.

Well it certainly is a little odd that they can maintain attendance at the venue it plays in since the locals can't easily play the sport themselves. Hmm...maybe we should count local ice rinks.

That's awesome. Amazing how it's hardly changed in all these decades and will probably look the same after we're long gone from this earth. I love these throwback comparisons! And pretty wild how practically the entire drive was familiar and recognizable.

Now that's a good wife! I've made up my mind; I am buying a riding mower. I'm done pushing that lawnmower all over this backyard, sideyard and front yard it takes me well over an hour each time, even with it's handles and self propelling wheels which does make it easier, but getting too old and tired and need to find easier and smarter ways to do these things. Will have to decide between a Husqvarna and a John Deer I've had my eyes on for the past year. Need a new leaf blower too. Hold one has kicked the bucket lol. Gotta a ton of stuff to do on the boat too and the rides and got so much going on at work I'm going out of my mind.

EDIT: I also have to pressure wash the deck (which I admittedly went a bit overboard when I built it as it wraps around the side and back) and re-stain it and I still haven't mulched the flower and tree beds ayayayah! Help! :-(

lol. That's what I was saying to you earlier when we were talking hockey. They've been in 1st place in the whole league throughout the entire season! Really incredible.

Get the battery mower..it’s super light. You can pick it up with one hand easily like a kid toy.I think it is made of fiberglass or something. That’s why my wife could use it otherwise it would be too much for her.

I actually spent an hour last year cleaning the back deck with a bunch of those blue rectangular pots and pan scrubbers. Worked pretty well.

I have an electric leaf blower. Works well in the house too. I clean off those radiator things on the bottom of refrigerators and blow out the dryer pipes.

I need a riding mower. I'm done pushing anything. Yard is too big for all that work TBH. I've been meaning to do this for 10 years lol because it's just too back-braking, electric or not. I might consider an electric riding mower, but I doubt it. For me, gas is the way to go, ma bro.

I wish I just had to clean it, then I wouldn't mind a little elbow grease on a few spots but I need to power-wash it big-time. The deck is PT mostly and a mahogany bench, not composite which would've been better and just needed a cleaning like yours. Need to get it bare and read for a new coat of timber oil.

For the amount of leaves and acorns and other stuff including area, gotta go gas ma bro!

Lol! Your gas leaf blower will probably be heavier than my battery lawn mower. My electric leaf blower does the job fine. Luckily I have outlets in the front and back of my house so a 100ft cord is fine.

I'm a glutton for punishment and not nearly as smart as you, Ant. I've always done things the hard way lol.
You're really into everything electric, ey? When are you buying a Tesla?

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

So I've never had a mulching mower before. She isn't kidding about it chopping into tiny pieces. I couldn't see any in the grass.

We'll see. I always wait for Service Pack 2 when a new version of Windows ships before jumping in.

Does it inhale leaves and mulch those as well? If so that'll be super useful in autumn.

Good question! That's certainly one of the things I used to do with my old mower. I don't know the answer. I'd try and test it now somehow but it has been raining for 3 days. Which brings up another question...if it gets caught in the rain are you screwed.

 

[Gomig-21]

Speaking of greenery in general, I've always enjoyed the look of vines growing and engulfing buildings, especially boring and ugly, square, brick buildings with no character, but it's rare when you see that lump of vines give up and peel off like a sheet of paper.

Its the way of the future, electricity everything. I foresee one day when the energy densities are so good in nanomaterials, simply there will be a source power pack that wirelessly transmits (again nano-resonances once we get there) to everything in your household .... (The real) Tesla will smile from heaven.

Till that day however (and even after it to be on the super safe side), I shall always have some form of "prepper SHTF" standbys like jerry cans (nothing really beats gasoline for base reliability still), a faraday cage with essentials in it and some long term food (and seed) storage...and an arsenal to protect it all best I can....sort of the holy prepper trinity hehe.

Even though I switched all my lightbulbs to dimmable LED's I still have my big boxes of incandescents in the basement on a shelf.

Wife mowed the lawn AGAIN yesterday. LOL!
I may never end up using it myself.

Time to give her a raise.

Gonna be hitting the water this memorial day weekend. As this day kinda marks the beginning of summer, getting out on the water is nuts as everyone and their mothers are out in their boats and it's like a marine traffic jam of epic proportions, lol.

This is the clarity of Flathead lake in Montana, amazing.
